HEART FAILURE
![](https://www.faziogiovanni.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/scompenso-cardiaco.jpg)
Fatigue, peripheral edema and dyspnoea can be symptoms of heart failure.
Nowadays, treataing heart failure early means having a completely different prognosis ad vitam and ad valetudinem.
There are innovative medicines which must be used at the right time and in the right way, otherwise the death rate related to this disease can be really high.
